Computers And Video Games

Yes, heard and read A LOT about Mass Effect but sadly could not get my hands on the title till now! Perhaps, someday would be able to play it..

If you download games, then a skullptura rip should work great in your rig, with the GTX . They can be found in mininova.org

@Pranay: Thanks for that insight into Turok. I hear that one can kill dinosaurs as well, in this game. Now, that must be a very satisfying (not to mention unique) experience. After all, it's not everyday that you get to kill dinosaurs, you see..

Killing dinos is one of most important survival techniques in the game...! Can't survive the game if you can't kill some... You know before loading a level, some games have funny instructions on the screen? Here's one that sums it up Turok.

"Dinosaurs eat meat. You are meat. Run Away!"

Processor - Core2Duo E8400 (3GHz)
RAM - 6GB
Motherboard - Intel model (don't exactly remember the model number/name)
Graphics Card - XFX GeForce GTX260..
Sound Card - I used to have a Sound Blaster Live card, but now am using the onboard 7.1 sound and I believe it is sufficient for me..
HDD - 2x500GB
PSU - Cooler Master 700W (or was it 750, will need to check..)
Case - I am not sure about the make of the case, but would be getting an NVIDIA case the coming month; it's huge and would give all the other components a good breathing space.. Although, it is a little expensive, but would be well worth it, I suppose.

that is pretty much the same level configuration as mine i guess.
except that i a 4870 ATi and you got me beat on RAM by 2 gigs. Oh, and CPU is clocked at 3.6 for me. gotta love overclocking and the Japanese winter
gotta love this level of machines
btw, what is your monitor???

@Psycho: I have got a very 'normal' monitor by today's standards. A Samsung 19" CRT.

[pranay]

A Samsung 19" CRT.

Whoa. CRT??? 19 inches?? That would consume a lot of power and space. A 19 inch TFT would cost 8K now, and it would save power in the long run...

this is getting weirder by the minute, I myself have a 19 inch Samsung CRT back at home in India. We definetly like the same stuff for comps. Though here i got a 24 inch widescreen. and games are insanely immersive on it.

8k? Well, the month is almost ending. Paycheque is almost here..

get one and make a dual monitor setup, you'll love the flexinility it gives ya when handling multiple activities, and in free time ya can let one monitor run movies/tv series/ videos for fun.

Aryan Da you can buy a 22 inch for 10K and that also a Viewsonic, and if you want to go for Samsung they are under 12 K. i would get one in some time i hope the prices come down a little bit more (i am such a lalchi thing)

aryan whatever you take,transfer the remaining money to this poor soul.


yesterday i read that the voice actor of assassins creed and splinter cell was injured in the TAJ crisis.

EDIT:

i am facing a problem in my net connection.suddenly the net speed has become slow browsing wise.when i download something say a torrent or a a file from the net..it gives full speed.but when i browse,it is dead slow.

i first thought that my desktop has some malware..checked it..none.
i also ran the net through my lappy and still the same problem persists.

any reasons??i am thinking of calling the customer care.but that would not be that helpful since my line is healthy.i am receiving full speed for downloads.so why such slow browsing???no cookies are stored and i regularly run cc cleaner.

@anvancy: Can it be some kind of network problem? But then, you say your downloads are okay, it is only when you surf the internet, it is slow. Strange. I am sorry but I don't have that much of technical knoweldge.

when i download it gives me top speed.in the range of 215-220kbps but when i surf,i can go in the kitchen and prepare some tea or play one level of mario not that grim..but when i try to connect to some site,the connecting takes almost 1 1/2 min,then all comes nice.but each time that connecting is dead slow,then making browsing slow.

anyways..keep a check if u see a similar problem..

Are you using IE? If yes, then I suggest using Firefox or even Chrome.
Also, see if you have any add-ons or toolbars installed. See if disabling them helps.

Yes. I am using the Viewsonic VA2226w 22". Nothing beats widescreen gaming.
